Academic Pricing Policy

RStudio offers free, open source products for R that meet the needs of most educators, staff and students. We also offer a free shinyapps.io account for up to 5 shiny applications and 25 active hours per month.

In cases where qualified academic institutions prefer to install RStudio commercial products on their own servers (RStudio Server Pro, RStudio Shiny Server Pro, RStudio Connect), RStudio offers academic pricing. To qualify you must meet the Qualified Institution definition below and provide a school-issued email address during purchase. (A school email address includes: .edu, .k12 , and other email domains sponsored by your educational institution.) For teaching purposes, a syllabus must also be submitted. If you do not have a school-issued email address or your email address cannot be verified, additional proof of eligibility may be requested after purchase.
